What Pulparindo means
Pulparindo is a Mexican sweet name of Spanish origin meaning "tamarind pulp one". It is built from Spanish pulpa (pulp) and tamarindo (tamarind). It is pronounced pool-pah-REEN-doh, and it is most associated with Jalisco.
A brand name coined by De la Rosa by blending pulpa and tamarindo. The word did not exist before the product.
